SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN TACOS



Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos image

Taco night just got a lot easier with the help of your trusty slow cooker! For this easy chicken taco recipe, you'll first cook the chicken in a skillet until it is browned on both sides, which will help seal in the juices. Then, transfer it to a 6-quart slow cooker to let it do the rest of the work for you. After a little over an hour, you'll be able to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces with two forks. Spending time in the slow cooker will allow the chicken to fully absorb the flavor of the spices and enchilada sauce. We recommended serving on corn tortillas with fresh toppings like red cabbage, tomatoes, radishes, and cilantro, if desired. If you'll have kiddos joining you for taco night, you may want to omit the chipotle chile in adobo sauce. This Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos feeds 8, so it's great for a dinner party, or if you're cooking for a smaller group, you'll have leftovers to enjoy all week long.

Time 1h40m

Yield Serves 8 (serving size: 2 tacos [1 cup chicken mixture])

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (8-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10- to 11 1/2-oz.) can mild enchilada sauce
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
16 (6-in.) corn tortillas, charred
1 cup shredded red cabbage (from 1 small head cabbage)
2/3 cup chopped tomato (from 1 large tomato)
1/2 cup sliced radishes (from 4 medium radishes)
2 small jalapeño chiles, unseeded and thinly sliced (optional)
Fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Add chicken to hot oil; cook until browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker; add enchilada sauce, vinegar, chipotle, cumin, and cinnamon. Cover and cook on HIGH until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Turn off slow cooker. Transfer chicken to a large heatproof bowl; let cool 10 minutes. Shred meat into bite-size pieces. Add liquid from slow cooker to chicken; toss to coat.
  • Divide chicken mixture evenly among tortillas. Top evenly with cabbage, tomato, radishes, and, if using, jalapeño. Serve with cilantro and lime.

SLOW COOKER SHREDDED CHICKEN TACOS



Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos image

I needed a dinner entree I could make for a pretty large party that wouldn't break the bank and wouldn't take me all day to cook. So, I decided tacos would do the trick! I threw together some ingredients for shredded chicken tacos, and it turned out great. I served them on corn tortillas, with diced white onion, cilantro, and freshly quartered limes for a more "authentic" feel, but the meat is great for nachos or other dishes as well.

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TACOS



Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos image

So I heard of people making salsa chicken and I thought I would give it a try but add a few of my own twists to it. My whole family, even the 2-year-old, loved the tacos and we ate the leftovers at our very next meal. After the mixture is cooked, fill flour tortillas with it (hard shells are great, too), add shredded Cheddar cheese on the top, and shredded lettuce.
